Here, the metallic layer 180 formed on the silicide layer 123 and the resistor of the lower electrode is an electrode wiring which is formed by the same process.

Meanwhile, the conventional CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus and a fabrication method thereof will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B.

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the p-well region and the n-well region are defined so as to form a CMOS device on the semiconductor substrate 101, and then the p-type and n-type dopant is ion-implanted thereinto, thus forming a double well (a p-well 102 and an n-well 103).

The field insulation layer 104 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 101 except for the upper portion of a conjunction portion of the p-well 102 and the n-well 103 and the well regions, for thus defining a device isolation region.

The gate insulation layer 107 is formed of an oxide film, etc, on the p-well 102 and the n-well 103 of the semiconductor substrate 101, and the polysilicon film and the silicide layer are sequentially deposited in the semiconductor substrate 102 including the p-well 102, the n-well 103, and the field insulation layer 104, and the resultant structure is patterned by a photolithography process, so that the lower electrode 125 of a capacitor formed in a stack structure of the polysilicon layer 113 and the silicide layer 123 on the gate electrodes 120 and 124 formed in a stack structure of the polysilicon layers 111 and 112 and the silicide layers 121 and 122 and the field insulation layer 104 in the right side of the n-well 103.

Here, the resistor device (not shown) is formed by using the polysilicon layer.

In addition, the insulation layer 130 and the upper electrode 140 are formed to have a smaller size than the lower electrode 125 in order to obtain a contact region of the lower electrode 125.

As shown in FIG. 2C, the gate insulation layer 107 left on the p-well and n-well of the semiconductor substrate 101 is removed by an etching process. A dopant is implanted into the resultant structure in a self-alignment method by using the gate electrodes 120 and 124 in the p-well 102 and n-well 103 as a mask. Thereafter, the LDD regions 151, 152, 155, and 156 are formed.

Therefore, the CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 is fabricated.

However, since the semiconductor device is fabricated to have a sub-micron accuracy, and the reduction of the contact size causes an increase of the aspect ratio. As shown in FIGS. 2A through 2D, in the conventional CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus, in one among a plurality of contacts, namely, the contact portion contacting with the lower electrode of the capacitor), the aluminum layer 180 deposited on the device with respect to the contact hole is not evenly deposited in the contact hole, and there is formed a step coverage problem in the metal (in particular, an "A"-portion) Therefore, the defective wiring and crack occur, for thus degrading the yield of the semiconductor apparatus and the reliability of the product.

The CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus and a fabrication method thereof according to the present invention will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 through 6E.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus according to the present invention includes a p-well 202 and an n-well 203 formed by diffusing a dopant on the p-well and n-well regions defined on a semiconductor substrate 201, a CMOS device formed by forming an n-type MOS field effect transistor and a p-type MOS field effect transistor on the p-well and n-well regions, and a capacitor and a resistor (not shown) formed on the semiconductor substrate 201 to be arranged in one side of the CMOS device.

In the CMOS device, an n-type MOSFET is formed in the p-well (a first well 202), and a p-type MOSFET is formed in the n-well (a second well 203). The n-type MOSFETs 251 and 252 formed in the p-well (the first well 202) includes first n-type source/drains 253 and 254 having the LDD structures 251 and 252, a gate insulation layer 207 formed on the first well 202, a first gate electrode 220 formed on the gate insulation layer 207 to have a stack structure of a first polysilicon layer 211 and the silicide layer 221, first insulation layers 231 and 234 formed on the upper and lateral surfaces of the first gate electrode 220 and on a field insulation layer 204, conductive layers 241 and 242 contacting with both sides of the first insulation layer 231 and contacting with the first source/drains 253 and 254, a second insulation layer 247 formed on the first insulation layer 234 of the field insulation layer 204, and contacting with the conductive layers 241 and 242, and formed on the first insulation layer 231, and a metallic layer 280 formed by depositing an aluminum film on the conductive layers 241 and 242 and used as an electrode wiring forming a contact portion with the conductive layers 241 and 242.

In addition, the p-type MOSFET formed on the n-well (the second well 203) has a matching construction with respect to the n-type MOSFET. Namely, the first source/drains 253 and 254 of the n-type matches with the second source/drains 257 and 258 of the p-type, and the first gate electrode 220 matches with the second gate 224.

In addition, in the field oxide film formed in a portion except for the upper portion of the conjugation of the p-well and n-well of the semiconductor substrate 201 and the well region, the resistor and the capacitor are formed on the field insulation layer 204 arranged in one side of the CMOS device.

Since the upper electrode 246 formed of a second polysilicon material, the lower electrode connection layer, and the metallic layers 245 and 280 are formed on the lower electrode 225, the width of the upper electrode 246 is smaller than the lower electrode 225.

As shown therein, there are formed a lower electrode connection layer 245 contacting with the silicide layer 223 of the upper portion of the lower electrode by selectively oxidizing the second polysilicon layer deposited on the silicide layer 223 of the lower electrode 225, and the second insulation layer 247 formed of the second polysilicon oxide for insulating with a neighboring conductive device and formed on both sides of the lower electrode connection layer 245 by a selective oxide process of the second polysilicon layer.

Namely, a lower electrode connection layer is arranged therebetween, for thus forming a contact of the lower electrode/lower electrode connection layer/metallic layer.

The CMOS analog semiconductor fabrication method according to the present invention will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 6A through 6E.

As shown in FIG. 6A, a CMOS device region is defined in a region of the semiconductor substrate 201, and a dopant is implanted into the resultant structure, and the first well 202 and second well 203 are formed in the semiconductor substrate 201. In addition, the field insulation layer 204 is formed in a region except for the upper portion of the conjunction portion of the first well 202 and second well 203 and the well, for thus defining a device isolation region (including a capacitor formation region). Thereafter, the gate insulation layer 207 is formed on the first well 202 and the second well 203, and the first polysilicon film and silicide layer are sequentially formed on the front surface of the semiconductor substrate 201. Thereafter, the first and second gate electrodes 220 and 224 having a stack structure of the first polysilicon layer 211 and 212 and the silicide layers 221 and 222 are formed on the first well 202 and the second well 203 by a photolithography process. The lower electrode 225 of the capacitor having a stack structure of the first polysilicon layer 213 and the silicide layer 223 is formed on the field insulation layer 204 of the capacitor formation region. Thereafter, first lightly doped source/drains 251 and 252 and second lightly doped source/drain regions 255 and 256 are formed by using an ion implantation into the first and second wells in a self-alignment method by using the first and second gate electrodes 220 and 224 as a mask.

Here, a contact region is formed by exposing a portion of the silicide layer 223 of the capacitor lower electrode 225. As a result, the upper surfaces of the first and second lightly doped source-drain regions 251, 252, 255, and 256 of the first well 202 and second well 203 are exposed. Thereafter, a stack structure of the second polysilicon layer 240 and a nitride layer 290 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 201 including the first insulation layers 231 through 234 patterned. The first insulation layer 233 formed on the silicide layer 223 of the lower electrode 225 of the capacitor is used as a capacitor dielectric layer.

As shown in FIG. 6D, the nitride layer 290 is patterned by a photolithography process, and the second polysilicon layer 240 is selectively oxidized by using the patterned nitride later as a mask, and then the nitride layer patterned is removed. Thereafter, a process for flattening the front surface of the second polysilicon layer 240 which was selectively oxidized may be performed by an etching process. The above-described flattening process may be performed for fully etching in order for the non-oxidized portion and oxidized portion to have the same height, and the flattening process may be performed in order for the non-oxidized portion to be removed more, for thus exposing the non-oxidized portion to be exposed more. In the patterning process, the contact region and the upper electrode region of the capacitor are not oxidized, and the remaining region is oxidized and become the second insulation layer 247 for electrically insulating the conductive layers 241 through 244 and the upper electrode and the lower electrode connection layer 245 and 246.

As shown in FIG. 6E, a high density ion in implanted into the source/drain region in the p-well 202 and n-well 203 of the semiconductor substrate 201 through the contact region of the CMOS device formed of the second polysilicon layer which was not oxidized in the selective oxidization process, and the resultant structure is annealed, so that the n-type first high density source/drains 253 and 254 is formed in the n-type MOSFET, and the second high density source/drains 257 and 258 are formed in the p-type MOSFET. Thereafter, an aluminum is deposited on the semiconductor substrate 201 including the first and second gate electrodes 220 and 224 and the upper electrode 246 of the capacitor, and is patterned, for thus forming the metallic layer 280. The metallic layer 280 may be formed by the following processes. Namely, a third insulation layer (not shown) is deposited on the selectively oxidized second insulation layer 247 and the upper electrode and the lower electrode connection layer 245 and 246 for insulating with other conductive devices, and then the patterning is performed so as to form a contact region. In addition, as another method, a metallic material such as an aluminum film, etc. may be deposited on the third insulation layer, and the patterning process is performed.

Therefore, the CMOS analog semiconductor apparatus fabricated by the processes as shown in FIGS. 6A through 6E is shown in FIG. 4.
